** The economy development of the country has been growing since we signed the peace agreements in 1992. Many people left the country during the war of 1980-1992 and it happened because Communist people guerilla people wanted to defend their beliefs and to fight for them, against the people who had everything, most of them were city people, also the Salvadorian army was Recruiting people so that is another reason why Salvadorian people emigrate to the United States of America and also Canada. Remittances from Salvadorans working in the United States or Canada are an important source of income for many families in El Salvador and for the economically growing of El Salvador. Remittances are sent by people who have their family here and who are paying a house or any other material things they need and in a way this is good because the country grows better economically and all of the investments is done here in el Salvador and not in the country they live, but many people are not investing anymore in here because they are afraid that the FMLN (Politian group) is going to take away all of the resources they have here invested in the bank but the people who are sent to become lazy and do not work. But remittances have the more percent in the country of bringing us and incoming more money.  Remittances are increasing at an annual rate of 6.5%, and an estimated $1.35 billion. Remittances have a lot to do with the Rostow’s Growth Model, this is because we as a nation are stopping to produce goods for our country and for exportation. We are getting used to receive from other countries what our country does not produce, and as well we are waiting for money to come from other countries. The money we get is being regenerated and used up. We think, that we are not using the money we have wisely because we are spending and spending in new things just because we have the money. But we don’t realize that we will get to a point were money will be needed and we won’t have no more.
